Prologue

The year is 2036. The Pokémon world has been ravaged by famine, disease, and death. However, the world was not always like this. Arceus, God of all pokemon, was a peaceful ruler. That is, until the Darkness came. This evil force took control of Arceus and corrupted him. Soon after, this Dark Arceus began to infect and corrupt pokemon and use them to spread chaos and misery. The world was warped into nothing but destruction and shadows. Pokemon that tried to rise up against the dark forces were brutally massacred. As time passed hope became scarce, until a Xatu predicted a prophecy:

The world has turned to shadows

It will soon be put to rest

Yet there is hope

A great battle is to be fought

One that the legends shall lose

The world will turn to two

Of which hope and light shall destroy the darkness

This prophecy has been forgotten to all but a select few. However, the chosen time is close at hand, but until then the light of hope will not shine within the shadows. We now go to a dark forest, for this is where the adventure begins…
